Brian Cooper Obituary

Missing you brother. Miss you and your always humorous facebook posts and pictures of beer and food. I posted my Tri county ice shirt on your facebook site. Keeping you in my thoughts and praying for your family.

Brian, My world is forever changed with you no longer here in body. When I am sad I hear you telling me "Mom, I'm okay!". And when I say or do something silly, I hear you laughing at me, and that's okay! My heart will always have a hole in it as I miss seeing you and talking to you. You were always there for me and I cherished our closeness. I thank God and am grateful that I had you for 45 years even though I never expected you to go home before me. Your family and I miss you and love you dearly. Mom

Coop
I am shocked. You started me and help me in this game with the boxing videos. I am going to Miss you. Thanks for everything and I will continue the tradition you help me with to be the best boxing collector on the internet. R.I.P Coop

We talked back and forth for over 15 yrs and I wish I could of met you in person. I think we missed each other at my gym a few years back. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't have started my obsession with boxing videos. I'll think of you every time I come across a rare fight. Miss you Mr. Cooper

You truly meant the world to me and some days I struggle without you here. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you or hear/see something that reminds me of you...that is how I know you are still with me. I love you B and look forward to hugging you again forever. xoxo #hanginwithbcooper

Having Brian and all of you) as neighbors growing up are what make my childhood memories fantastic ones!

Brian, you were a great friend to me, Samantha, and Michelle. You will forever be Uncle Brian to them. We are so blessed to have known you and will continue to miss you more than you could ever imagine. Until we meet again my friend. I am blessed to have married into your amazing family. Chip and I wish we could have more time to spend with you.

Every time I watch a classic movie I hear Brian say "why are you watching old movies"..you were my Pisces buddy...i miss everything about you...but I know you will never leave us...your spirit lives on and we appreciate you always...

I'm gonna miss you my friend!! Tell your Dad I said hello. NEVER FORGOTTEN!!

Brian was always making others laugh and such a good person. Brian and I were always going back and forth with Napoleon Dynamite quotes and memes. He always put a smile on my face when I needed it. He is truly missed. God bless his family.

What can I say that hasn't been said, Brian was a shining light. A smile that lit up a room and had such an infectious laugh. Brian was one of my best friends. I think you everyday, I miss you every second. Prayers for all of his family, I know how much he loved y'all. Tampa, Cozumel, Gamecock games, Kickin Chicken none will be the same without you. Until we meet again, I will carry these memories with me and always keep your memory alive. I love you.

I ordered boxing fights from Brian for years , he always told me I was his
best customer. My condolences, and deepest sympathy goes out to his
family. I lost my father recently, and now this news! I am totally devastated.

Until we meet again in that big rasslin ring in the sky my friend. mrs cooper and keenan stay strong love yall The Hunters - Forest Lakes

We will all truly miss Brian. I will always remember the years we played baseball, messing around filming stupid stuff with his video camera, and hanging out with Brian, Jeff, Donnie, David, and Bill. Being roommates with Brian and Jeff were some of the funniest times of my life and I will always cherish those memories. It will be hard to watch a boxing or wrestling match without thinking about Brian. I miss you man!

My sincerest condolences to all who knew Brian. He was one of my brother's best friends and he will be missed. I will miss his witty FB posts and I'm sorry we never got to have lunch. RIP Brian! MHS Class of 1987

Janet and Keenan, my heart aches for you. Jack and I returned this morning from vacation. Anne informed us of the loss that we all feel. I adorned reconnecting with Brian recently and feel the heartache. Love to you and Peace in your heart.

Brian, words can not express how I feel. I'm so sad you are gone. I will never forget you and the times we shared together. Until we meet again my friend. XOXO

I am deeply saddened to hear about Brian's passing. He was such a fun loving guy and he always was quick to say something to make you feel good. I hate that we didn't get around to having that happy hour we talked about. You will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. ~ MHS class of '88

During the summer of 1980 I had the privilege of being Brian's baseball coach at St. Andrews Playground. With his steady play at third base and his consistent hitting he helped lead our team Wappoo Oil to the Small Fry Championship. I'll never forget how as our cleanup hitter Brian would step up to the plate, pound on it hard a few times with his bat, and then try to intimidate the pitcher with a ferocious glare. He was the best hitter on the best team in the league. We called him Super Cooper. Brian was selected to play on the St. Andrews National All-Star Team. He played a big part in us winning the James Island Optimist Tournament Championship. It was a summer full of great accomplishments. But I remember Brian giving us much more than trophies and championships that season. There is the joy that we still have to this day from time spent with Brian that summer. So much fun, laughter, and great memories. And of course that smile of his that we will forever remember.

Dear Janet, Patti, Mrs. Cooper, Gloria . I know it has been a very long time since I have seen you all. However, your family helped shape me into who I am.
I remember Brian as a beautiful little blonde headed boy that was full of life.
Please accept my sympathy. Losing him at such a young age has got to be shocking and devastating at the same time. May God bless you & keep you in his hands. BJ Rodgers (Betty McCaskill)

Brian was a high school friend and even though i hadnt seen him in yrs i always enjoyed his facebook posts. He was a breath of fresh air in a crowded room. I pray for God's comfort and love through this difficult time for the Cooper family. My sincerest condolences.

To the Cooper Family,
I am very saddened to hear about the loss of Brian. He was a good friend to many. I will always remember the good times we had growing up as teenagers, playing baseball, working at the ice plant, and being roommates. He was very social, always had a smile and loved to laugh. I remember the many times I spent with Brian and the Cooper family during holidays. Your family was always good to me and I considered you all my second family as well. God bless you all through these tuff times. Brian will be missed by many.

thanks IceMan for all the laughs. Please say hi to your dad for us. R.I.P.
